...Molecular Biology because of my interest in research. In the past year and a half I have worked continuously at a laboratory, first at University of Massachusetts Medical School and then at Cornell. At UMass, I became interested in molecular biology because of the work I was doing with the maturation of B-lymphocytes. Because of the educational atmosphere of UMass, I became very involved with the graduate students and was on the cutting edge of research. Everyday I spent at that lab I was contributing to a major breakthrough in the understanding of B-cells. That, to me, what the most exciting environment I could be in. At that point I decided that I wanted to study molecular biology. My interest in molecular biology has been enhanced by my work at Cornell on an edible vaccine for Hepatitis B out of plant tissue. I am also very interested in animals and have considered being a veterinarian for a long time. I was also directed towards biology for that reason.
I am also considering a double major in communications. I became interested in communications through my ongoing interest in the music industry. Recently I have become involved in the promotion of several new artists. This led me to an intense interest in marketing and the communications major. The communications major could add to my education in biology because I plan to try to be an executive in a pharmaceutical company. Knowledge of...

“Education is a key element in achieving individual development and life success. The Master in Business Administration (MBA) degree is a widely accepted qualification in business management, recognized around the globe” (Baruch, Peiperl, 2000, p. 69). The MBA provides graduates with skills that yield returns with regard to market-value resulting in more opportunities for promotion andcareer advancement. According to University of Phoenix Jungian personality assessment: (2010), there are two out of 16 personality types associated with business careers. Kilduff and Day (1994), Research on personality points to the possibility that personality has an effect on performance of top executives witch can affect career outcomes. The MBA can and does provide respective value to individuals interested in pursuing and achieving career advancement in management.
The goal of MBA programs is to add value to the individuals who acquire the MBA degree. MBA graduates acquire managerial competencies, and business knowledge prepping them for managerial roles (Baruch & Leeming, 2001). Knowledge both tacit and explicit is the most obvious value acquired by MBA graduates; this is also known as human capital. According to Baruch (2009) “The ultimate aim of...

...My goals of excelling in marketing can only begin with earning an MBA. Although I have over three years of work experience in sales management, DePaul’s MBA program would provide me with the formal background in business that I currently lack coming from a liberal arts undergraduate background. The knowledge and experience gained from an MBA with a concentration in Marketing would provide me with the insight necessary to begin a marketing career in the sports industry, with the goal of reaching the managerial or executive level. The coursework for an MBA at DePaul would undoubtedly allow me to develop the skills needed to generate revenue for a team, event, league, athlete, sports organization, or sports manufacturer. Accordingly, I hope to learn more about the continuing globalization of sports, as well as the effect sports may be able to have on community development. I have been passionate about sports since my early youth and have always been intrigued about the intricacies and nuances that went into popularizing a sport or sporting brand. I have researched the effect athletics has on the global economic market, particularly since internet and viral marketing campaigns have simplified access to the best athletes and sports “products” from around the world. I only hope that I will eventually be in a position to help expand and expose the sports industry on a more global...

...Why am I Pursuing an MBA degree?
I decided to pursue an MBA degree in order to furthermy managerial career in the company I work for. The question would be: Why do I think it will enhance my management career? The answer to that question requires short background information.
I started mycareer as an entry level programmer in 2000, after receivingmy bachelor’s degree in computer science. Mycareer took a turn to management in 2003 when I was offered a team lead’s position with the company I was working for. Since, I worked myself up through the ranks to my current position of a Manager, responsible for a sub-unit handling a specific application product. After working as a manager for 2 years, managing both the resources and the budget and the tasks for my sub-unit, I realized that my on-the-job training was not sufficient to handle the multitudes of challenges that I faced daily without a degree in business. After much research, I found that no other action can alter mycareer path or earning potential like an acquiring of an MBA degree.
The MBA degree is one of the most highly demanded advanced degrees in business today. Corporate demand for MBA’s has been on the rise in recent years and...

...My Decision to Pursue an MBA Degree
Ever since I completed my Bachelors degree at University of Phoenix I thought about continuing my education with an MBA. When I completed high school I was the individual who thought were going to go out and “tackle” the world. Five years after I found why obtaining this knowledge is so important. I currently have two Associates degrees and a Bachelors degree. As the world changes must adapt to those changes, especially in the work environment that I am in. This is one reason that I choose to pursue an MBA degree. After I did the research I found many more are outlined below:
Effect on my Future
One of the main reasons that I thought about a master’s of business administration degree is to increase my salary potential. My goal is to peruse an upper management position. In most cases that I have seen they must have an MBA degree for an executive and senior management positions. One of the first items I completed was to compare the salary ranges in the career paths I wanted to pursue. I compared what a Bachelors degree would pay against that of an individual with an MBA. I am more concentrated toward an MBA that focused on the IT sector. This is one of the higher paying fields compared to other MBA holders. So with...

My choice for my future career
Today the economic crisis continuously affects the life of everyone in the United States, especially young adults who have just graduated from high school and prepared for independent life. So the most important question for every youngster is which career he or she wants to do with his or her life. It is important because if our choices are wrong, we will waste our money, our time, and maybe our mental and physical health. However, we might not know if the path we chose will be the correct one until later in life. Right now I am confident in my decision of becoming a pharmacist for the three reasons below.
First and foremost, we must have a passion for and an interest in our career because we will work in our field every day. In this case, as a pharmacist, we must have a strong interest in health care, science and especially chemistry (Bolster, Brynildssen, Cohen, and co-writers 676). My interest in chemistry began when I was in tenth grade, the Royal Australian Chemical Institute and my school held a Chemistry Exam for all of students in my grade. My classmates and I studied and prepared a lot for this exam because we heard that the awards would be a scholarship to study abroad in Australia....
